Lesson

Instructions

In this video, you will learn the 50 most common beginner yoga poses. I tried my best to narrow it down to 50 poses, but in reality, there are many more beginner-friendly poses you might see in classes. This video doesn’t include possible modifications and variations of the poses and the use of props, only the basic most standard form of the pose. NOTE: this video is just for demonstration, not for practice. You don't need to practice these poses in this particular order or hold them for a number of breaths. This video is just to help you remember the names of the poses.
